Be it lcnown that I, CHARLES II. SOHUBEUS, of Newark, in the countyY ofEssex, and State of New Jersey, have invented anew and usefulImprovement in Tools for Bending Metal; and'I do hereby declare that thefollowing is afull, clear, and exact description thereof', which willenable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawing, foriningpart of thisspe'cilieat'ion, in which- Figure 1 represents a front elevation of thisinvention.

Figure 2 is a transverse verticalsection thereof.

.Figure Sis a face view of the punch or male part of said tool.

n Figure l is a perspective View of a Satchel-frame bentby means of thisinvention.

Similar letters of'reference in said views indicate corresponding parts.

L v This invention relates to a tool .which is intended to bend angularor L-shaped pieces of sheet-metal or hoopiron, such, for instance asused for Satchel-frames or travelling-bag frames. rllhe male part ofsaid tool, or the punch, consists'noi'two jaws, which are clamped to acentre-piece, and which are so shaped that alici-f er kerfs are leftbetween them and-said centre-piece, rendering them capable of receivingone or more angular or Lshaped pieces of sheet metal intended forthejaws ofzi-'satchel-i'rame, before or after their ends have beenfastened together, and that s aidpiece or pieces can be secured in thepunch and forced into the die or female part of the tool, and that bythese means said angular or L-shaped pieces are bent cold withoutwrinklinc'. and with little trouble or loss of time.

I( A represents the male part or punch, and .B the female part or die ofmy tool. Said punch is compose'dpd-` three parte, a, c, (see iig.2,)'ot` such a shape that the sume, when put together, will tit into thesatcheframe or other piececf workto be produced, and that narrowcavities or kerfs, 7c, are left betweenpthe edges et said' parts capableof receiving'r those parts ofthe metal which are to be bent edgeways,and which are designated by the letter e in the drawings, while thoseparts which are to be bent ilatways are designated by the letterf. The

any other suitable meahsand after the angle-irons to be bent have beenadjusted in the kcrfs ofthe punch, thejaws i side-pieces cr jaws a cofthe punch are held in position when attached to the centre-piece 5 bysteady-pins CZ, or by a c are pressed up against the centre-piece b by ascrew-clamp or any other sui-table means, as indicated in `gs. 1 and 2of the drawing, and when the punch has been thusadjusted, theparts e ofthe irons to be bent are held in the kerfs l1: between theiaws and the`centre-pieee of said phnch. In practice, the clamp, which servestopress the jaws of the punch up against the centre-piece, will be soarranged that the samecan be readily secured to the cross-head f apress, as indicated in red outlines in figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing. Thefemale part of the tool, or the die B, iscomposed of one solid piece ot'cast iion, or other suitable material, which is hellowed out so as tocorrespond to the shape ci' the Satchel-frame or other piece of work tobe produced. This die is fastened under the punch in the properposition, and by forcing the punch down, the irons secured in theykerf's thereof are gradually bent, and while being bent those portionsof the parts e of said irons which projectbeyond the punch in g. 1 aregradually forced into the kerfs,.and the operation of bending saidLshaped or angular irons is efected without allowing any part thereof towrinkle, the wrinkling being prevented by the kerfs k,

which receive the parts e of the irons while the same are-being bent.

In the drawings I have represented my 'tool as the same is arranged forbending simultaneouslythe two jaws of a Satchel or bag-frame, but it isobvious that said tool may be provided with one or more kerfs, and one ior more pieces of metal may be bent at one and the same operation. WhatI claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters atent, is- The punch A,composed of the sidepieces or jaws a e, and centre-piece b, incombination with the die B, constructed and operating substantially asand for the purpose set forth.' i

The above specification signed by me this thirty-first day of December,1866.
